We're lined up to have Vista delivered and I couldn't be less thrilled.

We'll see.

Let us know how it goes. If nothing else, it should be good for plenty of blogfodder.

I'm not technical enough to make an issue of it.

It appears to be a complete memory and processor hog and the words from ZDNet are that if your machine is more than 18 months old, it will be underpowered and unreliable with the new operating system.

XP is working well for me so I'm not switching until I need a new computer. Heck, I only upgraded from 98 less than 2 years ago!

I've heard the same thing about hardware requirements. I'll keep XP as long as I can.

My computer is just a few months old, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Lyman's is older, but should be big enough to handle it.

The problem with most of these things is they can perform 150,000 tasks that you never really need to do. Doing things you actually want to do is a lot harder because you have to dig through all that other crap to get to what you want.

What bugs me most about Msoft is that they spend so much time deciding for me what I want to do. I don't want a thousand tiny popup bubbles telling me that my fly is unzipped - I probably know it, and I left it that way for a reason. If I was more of a geek than I am already, I'd switch to Linux & be done with them. But I'm lazy and not that much of a geek, so I stay enslaved to Bill & co.

You might also want to zip up that fly.

not to be a smartypants, but if you want to work all day without system crashes, you're going to have to get a mac

True, but we are all at the mercy of our MIS department here.
